Apple Watch, on the leaderboard.
Apple Watch writes your activity to Apple Health on its own, and MoveTogether reads it there. There is also a native MoveTogether watch app with complications.
Already in Apple Health.
Your watch syncs to Apple Health on your iPhone with no extra setup. Connect Apple Health in MoveTogether and pick Apple Watch as your tracker.
Works with a paired Apple Watch.
If your watch is paired with an iPhone on iOS 18 or later and your rings show in the Fitness app, you can compete.

Sync timing
Within minutes
Apple Health sends new activity to MoveTogether in the background once your watch syncs to your iPhone. Sync activity in the + menu pulls it in right away.
Scoring with Apple Watch.
Every scoring method is fair here, because every device sends its data the same way. Two that suit it: How Apple Watch competitions work, and how to run one with a group
Apple Watch questions, briefly answered.
Is there a MoveTogether Apple Watch app?
Yes. MoveTogether has a native watch app with complications. Your activity itself reaches MoveTogether through Apple Health.
Does my watch need to be paired with my iPhone?
Yes. MoveTogether reads Apple Health on your iPhone, so the watch must sync to it.
I wear an Apple Watch and another device. Which one counts?
The one you pick. MoveTogether counts one tracker toward your rings. Change it any time on iPhone: tap your photo on Home, then the gear, then Data Sources.
Your rings, your competitions.
